Apparatus, device, methods and system relating to a vehicular telemetry environment for monitoring vehicle components and providing indications towards the condition of the vehicle components and providing optimal indications towards replacement or maintenance of vehicle components before vehicle component failure.

A detection unit 41 of a counting device 40 executes a detection process to be counted from each of a plurality of frame images that constitute a captured video in which the movable bodies to be counted are included. A selection unit 42 selects, among the plurality of frame images constituting the captured video, a portion of the frame images as selected images such that the capturing order is intermittent and displays, in a display device, each of the selected images in an aspect where detection result information indicating the movable bodies to be counted detected by the detection process are superimposed on the selected image. A correction unit 43 receives, as correction information, information for correcting the result of the detection process displayed in each of the selected images. A counting unit 44 counts the movable bodies to be counted included in the captured video.

The present invention provides a same fish easy identification device, a fish counting device, a mobile terminal for counting fish, a same fish identification method, a fish counting method, a fish count prediction device, a fish count prediction method, a same fish identification system, a fish counting system, and a fish count prediction system. The same fish identification device of the present invention includes: a measurement image acquisition unit 11; a fish position information acquisition unit 131; a predicted fish position information acquisition unit 132; and a same fish identification unit 133. The measurement image acquisition unit 11 acquires, over time, n measurement images of a region to be measured in a passage region where a fluid containing fish passes through. The fish position information acquisition unit 131 acquires fish position information in the n measurement images. The predicted fish position information acquisition unit 132 selects a selected image(s) from the measurement images acquired prior to a (m1)th measurement image among the n measurement images and acquires predicted fish position information (PI.sub.m) in the m-th measurement image on the basis of the fish position information in the selected image. On the basis of the fish position information (I.sub.m) in the m-th measurement image and the corresponding predicted fish position information (PI.sub.m), the same fish identification unit 133 identifies the fish in the m-th measurement image as the same fish as in the selected image when the fish position information (I.sub.m) matches with the predicted fish position information (PI.sub.m) and identifies the fish in the m-th measurement image as not being the same fish as in the selected image when the fish position information (I.sub.m) does not match with the predicted fish position information (PI.sub.m).

A method for forming a molded proximity sensor with an optical resin lens and the structure formed thereby. A light sensor chip is placed on a substrate, such as a printed circuit board, and a diode, such as a laser diode, is positioned on top of the light sensor chip and electrically connected to a bonding pad on the light sensor chip. Transparent, optical resin in liquid form is applied as a drop over the light sensor array on the light sensor chip as well as over the light-emitting diode. After the optical resin is cured, a molding compound is applied to an entire assembly, after which the assembly is polished to expose the lenses and have a top surface flush with the top surface of the molding compound.

A photoelectric sensor includes the following components. A disturbance detection unit detects a disturbance by comparing a light reception result obtained by a light receiver with a first threshold and with a second threshold for a predetermined period in a state where no light is transmitted by a light transmitter. The second threshold takes a value of a sign opposite to that of the first threshold relative to a no-signal state. A waiting unit waits for the light reception result obtained by the light receiver to become within a range from the first threshold to the second threshold upon detection of a disturbance. A disturbance type determination unit causes detection of a disturbance to be performed again after the waiting. A light transmission instruction unit instructs the light transmitter to transmit light when no disturbance is detected for a predetermined period.

One or more embodiments are directed to system in package (SiP) for optical devices, such as proximity sensing or optical ranging devices. One embodiment is directed to an optical sensor package that includes a substrate, a sensor die coupled to the substrate, a light-emitting device coupled to the substrate, and a cap. The cap is positioned around side surfaces of the sensor die and covers at least a portion of the substrate. The cap includes first and second sidewalls, an inner wall having first and second side surfaces and a mounting surface, and a cover in contact with the first and second sidewalls and the inner wall. The first and second side surfaces are transverse to the mounting surface, and the inner wall includes an opening extending into the inner wall from the mounting surface. A first adhesive material is provided on the sensor die and at least partially within the opening, and secures the inner wall to the sensor die.
